At seven in the morning, after a day and night of interrogation, Fang Lei and his colleagues finally broke through the suspect's psychological defenses and successfully obtained his confession. A small cheer rang out in the office. Everyone had been working overtime for a week on this case. Many people lived and ate at the police station, including Fang Lei. Now that the case was solved, everyone felt relieved.
Hearing his colleagues' cheers, Fang Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his bloodshot eyes, poured the cold coffee on the table into the sink, and packed up to go home. After not going home for a week, Xiao Hui still didn't know how to make a fuss. Fang Lei had planned to send Xiao Hui to Lu Lingxi's place during this overtime, but Xiao Hui refused. Fang Lei had no choice but to fry a lot of dried fish and put them in the refrigerator, and asked his colleague who lived next door to help him feed Xiao Hui on time.
He was thinking about Xiao Hui leaving, and a new colleague saw him and asked, "Captain Fang, will you come back after not sleeping all night?"
Before Fang Lei could say anything, another colleague interrupted with a smile, "Do you think Captain Fang is as lonely as you? Captain Fang has a little beauty at home. If Captain Fang goes home late, I guarantee that he will come back tomorrow with scratch marks all over his face."
Except for this new colleague, the other people in the office had all seen how powerful Xiao Hui was, and they all laughed when they heard what he said.
Fang Lei walked out of the door with a smile amid their jokes, and then he heard the colleague who spoke first behind him ask sympathetically, "Is Captain Fang's girlfriend so amazing?"
His answer was another round of laughter.
Fang Lei shook his head helplessly and drove back to his apartment. When passing by the morning market, Fang Lei got off the car and bought two kilograms of fresh small yellow croaker. He estimated that the dried fish in the refrigerator should not be eaten up, but it has been a week and is no longer fresh. There was no way before, but now that he is back, he has to give Xiao Hui something good to eat.
Fang Lei carried the little yellow croaker back to the apartment. As soon as he entered the door, a gray figure rushed over. Fang Lei nimbly caught the little gray with one hand and pressed it into his arms. "I'm back."
Meow~ Xiao Hui cried out angrily and scratched Fang Lei's body with his claws.
Fang Lei threw the small yellow croaker aside, freed his hands to touch Xiao Hui's ears, and pinched the flesh on Xiao Hui's neck. Xiao Hui's anger was not as strong as at the beginning. Fang Lei used his ultimate move, turned Xiao Hui over and rubbed its bulging belly. Xiao Hui stretched his limbs comfortably and meowed like a spoiled child.
Fang Lei laughed and carried Xiao Hui into the bathroom. He had been doing a sloppy job at the police station this week, so he had to take a good bath when he got home. Especially since Xiao Hui hadn't taken a bath for a week, and he was very clean, so it was a good opportunity to take a bath together.
Meow~
Xiao Hui jumped from Fang Lei's arms to the sink and used his paws to stir up his special cat shampoo.
Fang Lei quickly stripped himself clean, walked over and grabbed Xiao Hui and said, "You get unhappy when I go to work. Look at the things you use, none of them are cheap. How can I support you if I don't go to work?"
Little Gray struggled to break free in dissatisfaction, squatted aside and meowed.
Fang Lei found it funny and scratched Xiao Hui's chin. "You mean the last time you caught a mouse to feed me? First of all, I don't eat mice. Secondly, mice are worthless. Selling them won't feed you."
Meow~
Xiao Hui waved his claws, proving his status in a fierce manner.
Fang Lei immediately raised his hand and compromised: "I know that Xiao Hui is the master of the house, and I am here to serve Mr. Xiao Hui."
Meow~
Xiao Hui was satisfied and wagged his tail at Fang Lei, indicating that it was time to take a bath.
Fang Lei had no idea what to do with Xiao Hui. He was too lazy to find a special basin for Xiao Hui to bathe. He just turned on the shower head in the bathroom, tested the water temperature, and stood over with Xiao Hui in his arms. Perhaps because of evolution, Xiao Hui was not averse to bathing, and even liked it a little, but the premise was that you had to make it comfortable. After a painful lesson, Fang Lei had learned how to bathe Xiao Hui and scratch it at the same time. Xiao Hui meowed comfortably. Fang Lei mixed some cat shampoo with water, rubbed it for a long time, rinsed it clean, wrapped Xiao Hui in a large towel and put it on the sink.
"Just wait, I'm going to take a shower."
After taking a bath, Xiao Hui calmed down and squatted on the sink with his head tilted, watching Fang Lei take a bath without blinking. Fang Lei took a quick bath, put on a pair of shorts casually, and left the bathroom half-naked with Xiao Hui in his arms. After wiping and blowing the fur in one go, Fang Lei pinched the flesh on Xiao Hui's neck, put away the hair dryer and asked it, "What flavor of dried fish do you want to eat?"
Since Xiao Hui expressed his dislike for canned cat food, Fang Lei has made great progress in his cooking skills in preparing dried fish. Fried, crispy, steamed... all kinds of flavors are at his fingertips. During the Chinese New Year, Fang Lei showed off his cooking skills to his relatives at home, but of course he didn't dare to say that he learned his cooking skills from Xiao Hui.
Meow~
Little Gray shook his fur and called out softly.
"Crispy? No problem."
Fang Lei skillfully processed the small yellow croaker he bought in the morning. Xiao Hui squatted beside him with satisfaction, calling out from time to time. After the processed small yellow croaker was put into the pot, Fang Lei grabbed Xiao Hui and walked away from the oil pan. Last time, Xiao Hui was naughty and almost got scalded by the oil, so Fang Lei always remembered to keep Xiao Hui away from the oil pan. There was an aroma coming out of the pot, and Xiao Hui meowed excitedly. Fang Lei looked at it indulgently, and it was at this time that Xiao Hui would be like a cat, not a cat. He turned the small yellow croaker in the pot, and his cell phone rang.
"Mom?" Fang Lei tilted his head, holding the phone, while staring at the small yellow croaker in the pot.
"Leizi, are you going to take a rest today? Mom has just arranged an appointment for you with a girl, go meet her. She is a teacher, very polite and gentle, pretty, and doesn't look down on your profession. I have made an appointment with her at 12 noon at the steak house near your workplace. She will be wearing a floral dress and long hair, remember to go!"
Fang Lei: “…”
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, I have something else to do today."
"What's the matter? Don't tell me that you followed Xiao Hui to fight for territory? Look at what you have accomplished. Xiao Hui is a cat and doesn't know anything. You don't know anything either? You're still following it while it's fighting!" Fang Lei's mother was also a policewoman before she retired. However, unlike Fang Lei, she was from the criminal police team, but from the street police station, and she was very eloquent.
The old lady brought this up just to insult Fang Lei. Last time the old lady arranged for Fang Lei to go on a blind date, Fang Lei was late. The reason he gave was that he had been looking for a lost cat for a long time. Later the old lady realized that it was not Xiao Hui who was lost, but Fang Lei who followed Xiao Hui to fight. During that time, Xiao Hui had not yet consolidated his status as the cat king in the neighborhood, and wild cats would come to provoke him from time to time. Fang Lei was worried, and he followed Xiao Hui every time he fought. He was happy when Xiao Hui won, and he would come back to scratch Fang Lei to vent his anger when Xiao Hui lost. The old lady remembered this incident well, and she would insult Fang Lei every time she mentioned it.
Fang Lei was a little helpless. Actually, he had nothing wrong. He just subconsciously rejected blind dates. Fang Lei had been busy with work these years and had never had a serious girlfriend. It was not that he was not serious, but the nature of his work was special. He often forgot everything when he was busy. Sometimes he had to go on business trips, which were confidential and no one could contact him. After a long time, the girls who were interested in him could not accept his work and all backed out.
In the past, Fang Lei’s old lady didn’t care. After all, men are still blooming after 30. But after Fang Lei’s 30th birthday, he not only showed less and less interest in getting married, but also got a cat, as if he wanted to be with Xiao Hui forever. The old lady couldn’t sit still anymore, and quickly mobilized all her connections to introduce girlfriends to Fang Lei. Fang Lei’s rest time was basically wasted on blind dates, and none of them worked out. After so many times, Fang Lei was a little resistant to blind dates. Besides, Xiao Hui was very concerned about his territory. Once he realized that a stranger was going to invade his territory, he would get very angry and alert. It can be said that Fang Lei’s previous failed blind dates were half due to the nature of his work and half due to Xiao Hui.
Fang Lei's old lady also knew Xiao Hui's destructive power. After successfully suppressing Fang Lei's resistance, the old lady specially added a knife, "Don't take Xiao Hui with you. I told the girl that you have a cat. She also likes small animals and has a dog at home. I heard that it is an evolved animal like Xiao Hui. Although cats and dogs don't get along, that's something to consider later. You should coax the girl first."
Fang Lei: “…”
He was distracted for a moment, and the small yellow croaker in the frying pan was burnt. Xiao Hui waved his paw angrily and meowed to remind Fang Lei.
Fang Lei quickly turned off the fire, and started to fish out the fish and comfort Xiao Hui.
The old lady couldn't hear Fang Lei's voice for a long time, so she tapped the microphone and said, "Leizi, tell me, are you going or not?"
"Go, of course. Mom, I have something to do. I'm hanging up first. Isn't it the Yi Lian You Meng steakhouse near the workplace? I remember, 12 noon." He hung up the phone neatly, touched Xiao Hui's ear and apologized, "It's a little burnt. It's too late to go out and buy fish now. Xiao Hui, eat the unburnt part first, and don't eat the other side."
Meow~
Little Gray raised his paw again in displeasure, but still started eating pickily.
Fang Lei looked at the time. It was only a little after eight o'clock, so he could still sleep for a while. He waited for Xiao Hui to finish eating the fish, then washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and took Xiao Hui back to the bedroom.
"Don't make trouble, Xiao Hui. Be good. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Fang Lei set the alarm for 11 o'clock, and he fell asleep almost immediately. Xiao Hui squatted beside the pillow and tilted his head to look at Fang Lei for a while, then jumped off the bed with Fang Lei's phone in his mouth, and hid the phone behind the sofa in the living room. Finally, he put a small pillow on the phone to ensure that the alarm would not be too loud.
After Xiao Hui finished all this, he jumped back onto the bed, squatted beside the pillow and licked his paws. He tilted his head, his golden pupils reflecting Fang Lei's sleeping face, and after a while, Xiao Hui curled up and fell asleep next to Fang Lei.
At 11 a.m., the alarm rang. Fang Lei didn't hear it at all because of the pillow and the door. Xiao Hui wagged his tail with a bit of pride. Suddenly, the phone at the bedside rang. Old Mrs. Fang called to urge Fang Lei to go out.
Fang Lei: “…”
He hung up the phone, grabbed Xiao Hui and said helplessly: "Where's your phone? Where did you hide it?"
Little Gray meowed angrily.
Fang Lei helplessly held Xiao Hui in his arms, rubbed its belly with its belly facing the sky, and coaxed it patiently: "I'm just going out for a meal and will be back soon. I'm not going to abandon Xiao Hui. You see, even if I find a girlfriend, there will be one more person to serve Uncle Cat in the future. When I'm not around, someone fries dried fish for Xiao Hui. Doesn't Xiao Hui like it?"
Meow~
Fang Lei had a headache. It was troublesome to choose between the little gray cat and the old lady at home. But he had to meet her at noon anyway. Whether it would work out was another matter. He couldn't just leave the girl alone in the restaurant.
"Xiao Hui, I'm going to go. I'll be back soon. I'll continue frying fish for you this afternoon."
He looked at the time and it was getting late. He didn't have time to coax Xiao Hui anymore. He changed his clothes casually, dug out his phone from under the sofa, touched Xiao Hui's head, and closed the door before Xiao Hui could wave his paw.
Meow~
Xiao Hui yelled angrily, biting the pillow. Under the pillow, a green pendant carved into the shape of a kitten that Fang Lei bought on his last business trip to Kunnan fell out and somehow rolled to Xiao Hui's side. A light green light flashed, and Xiao Hui on the bed disappeared. A naked boy who looked about 17 or 18 years old, with white skin, gray cat ears and a cat tail, was lying there biting the pillow.
Meow~
